City History

Pierce County, named after President Franklin Pierce, was established on March 14, 1853 in the territory known at the time as Elizabeth Township. The transition from Township to County shifted the existing board of supervisors seamlessly from one to the other, and selected newly named Prescott as the county seat.
Land speculation and immigration prompted steady growth in the early years, with many establishing farms. As the population continued to grow, the county seat was moved to a more central location – Ellsworth – where it sits today. With the addition of the railroad along with more farming, milling, and mining made the area a wonderful place to live.
Today, Pierce County is still a fantastic place to call home, with just over 40,000 residents, beautiful landscape, and a thriving economy.
